SITUATION OF GENDER DIFFERENCE-EDUCATIONAL AND
SOCIAL

3. INTRODUCTION
• According to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association, “ Gender is cultural and is the term to use when
referring to women and men as social groups and Sex is biological;
use it when the biological distinction is predominant.”
• According to the World Health Organization, “Sex refers to the
biological and physiological characteristics that define men and
women and Gender refers to the socially constructed roles,
behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers
appropriate for men and women.”
• Gender difference is due to nurture, and a sex difference is due to
nature.

4. GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION
• Before the COVID-19 pandemic, an estimated 130 million girls around the
world were not in school, and now 11 million girls might not go back to
school this year. These are daunting numbers that represent real girls who
are being denied their right to an education and the opportunity to grow to
their full potential.
• The need of girls are not often heard or prioritized by those in decision-
making positions. Time and time again research has shown that despite their
best efforts, girls are unable to overcome prejudice, aggression and
misogyny.
• In this reality, it is no surprise that girls cannot decide how long their days
in school will last. From menstruation to forced marriage, girls face
numerous barriers that are keeping them from pursuing a future they want.

9. GENDER DIFFERENCES-SOCIAL
There is a misconception that biology helps determine career
outcomes. However, research shows that men and women are
more similar than different when it comes to factors such as
personality and ability. In fact, these characteristics have more
impact on career trajectory than biology.
The disproportionate number of men in senior positions has
more to do with culture. Men are socialized to overstate the
value of their knowledge and even bluff to get what they want,
whereas women are socialized to be humble. As these
behaviors are rewarded throughout careers, the gender gap
grows wider.
Ample evidence exists showing that women make very
effective leaders, but they need their schools and organizations
to consider them for the roles.
